    I just received my 3 photon 16's yesterday (thank you!) and they are beautiful. Does anyone have a lighting schedule that they like that I could borrow from?

    I would reccomend the default, but turn everything down to half of what it is now to start.

    I have my blues on 60, and the whites on 5. I like the colors and the corals seem to be doing good. This is on my 20g tank, but I'm moving to 55g soon.

    I've wondered the same thing. What is everyone else's set at? I'm got mine on the custom mode where they change every hour. I've had to turn them down twice now. I got a nice piece of LR with a ton of coralline algae on it and it's got a lot of white on it. These lights are powerful!

    I was also trying to figure out how high to mount them. I have 90 degree optics and I was moving them up and down but have no clue how high or low to go. lol
